Like I already posted --- the December results (polling of military, active and or retired) already show statistically significant change from the Oct. example that you gave. Not surprising I guess, moving from the height of a divisive political campaign (and with one candidate rather 'new on the political scene' as these things go, and the other well known) to the post-election period. I'm sure that results from mid-year 2009, or the next annual poll from those publishers at year-end 2009 will also show movement.... And... 'all dogs are not the same' <g>. MOST polls (military and non-military) have consistently shown a LARGER demographic variance then what most other cohorts show. (The recent election is a good example: the Senior, John McCain carried the over-55 vote. While the generation younger Obama dominated below, I believe 35 or so. Same trends were seen in military. So, there's lot's of ways to 'slice and dice' results, but ALL polls are but snapshots in time. Single frames taken from a moving picture.)
